1st Confirmed Measles Cases of Year Reported in Arizona

Authorities in Navajo County, Arizona have identified four measles infections, marking the state's earliest reported cases in 2025.
The infections involve unvaccinated individuals who recently traveled internationally and were exposed to a highly contagious virus spread through a single source.
Public health authorities are identifying possible exposure locations, notifying contacts, and advising those exposed to monitor symptoms such as fever, cough, and rash for 21 days.
Janelle Linn, who leads Navajo County Public Health Services, stated that their staff is working in partnership with Arizona’s health officials to monitor current infections and respond to any additional incidents that arise.
These cases illustrate waning community immunity as measles, preventable by vaccine and considered eliminated in the U.S. since 2000, resurges amid a national increase in infections.
